Coaching notes
Hitter works a series of continuous swings with minimal reset, focusing on staying loose, maintaining rhythm, and letting the body flow into each swing rather than forcing mechanics.
Objectives
Develop free, athletic swing rhythm; improve timing under continuous tempo; reduce tension and over-thinking.
Coaching cues
Stay loose; keep the feet and body moving; flow into each swing; do not reset fully between swings.
Common errors
Stopping completely between swings; tensing up; losing balance; rushing the tempo.
Steps
- 1. Start swinging with a light, rhythmic tempo
- 2. Keep the body moving and flow into the next swing with minimal pause
- 3. Maintain balance and loose hands throughout
- 4. Gradually increase intent while keeping the flow
